This afternoon, weather-wise, was kind of perfect. The air was still. It was overcast, but not cold. For Jamie, it was walking weather. She invited me to join her on a stroll (with me outside of the fence, of course).
Soon, Burrito and Missy joined.
In the distance, in the Bray outdoor enclosure, I could see a figure watching. Perhaps waiting…
I was pretty sure I knew who it was, but I went around to get a better look. Sure enough, Honey B was having some alone time outside.
I may have been over interpreting Jamie’s behavior, but it seemed to me that Jamie was encouraging Honey B to walk in parallel with us.
Even with Jamie’s friendly pauses, looking Honey B’s way, Honey B didn’t join the patrol.
She did explore more of the Bray, though.
Jamie frequently stopped, looking into the distance in the same way Honey B was. I felt they were spending time together, just yards apart.
At one point, Honey B craned her neck to see who was coming out of the Chute to join her.
It was Mave!
It wasn’t that long ago that both Honey B and Mave refused to go outside.
Today, with the stillness and calm, I felt honored to be a witness to their enjoyment of this space they have. Where they can roam. Or sit and quietly contemplate.
